Hot on the heels of Dave's rant that the Windows Mobile 6.1 update for the Samsung Blackjack II would never appear, it's now available!
This update to the SGH-I617 will be a welcome addition to Blackjack II owners who have been craving threaded text messaging, sliding homescreen panels, and the better battery life offered by WM6.1
Even though I gave up waiting several weeks ago, I still have my wife's Blackjack II here, so I'll upgrade it when I get a few minutes. Anybody else going to take the plunge?
